Let me go down the order...
* (tall brown boots, Post #1655) I'm going to Yay! those. Very nice and manageable to me.
* (taupe(?) ankle boots, Post #1655) Someone will think otherwise, but it's (moderate) Nay! to those.
* (tall taupe(?) boots, Post 1655) Yay!, but not in that color. If that's the only color offered, then Nay.
* (tall brown boots, Post #1656) You know... Big Yay! from me. The straps and buckle are nice touches, and the straps don't look like you're wearing a straitjacket for your feet.
If I had to choose, I'd go with the boots in Post #1656. It's up to you whatever boots you want to get, oiselet. Dress (and shop) with confidence!
